Collection

How quickly can I collect a loan box?

We aim to have boxes ready a week after your booking has been confirmed. On occasion, we may need more notice.

How long can I keep the box for?

The boxes are available to borrow for a period of up to three weeks.

Where do I pick up and return the box?

Do I need a car to transport a loan box?

It would be difficult to transport large distances on foot or public transport. Each box weighs around 20kg and care should be taken when lifting them. The loan boxes are fitted with a handle and wheels and are most safely lifted by two people. Dimensions of each box vary but are a maximum 84 x 51 x 41 cm.
